Dave is right! I spent 6 hours at the Detroit show last year. I saw a lot of neat new stuff and also picked up a couple things I was looking for, at good prices. It’s well worth the price of admission.

I attended the National show in Cincinnati in 2005. Again, well worth the price of admission. All the major manufacturers are also at these shows.

Highly recommended.

Really wish they’d come to pensacola during the summer.

Or one in Destin, there is a big enough area in the confrence center for one.

Yep…spent about 5-6 hours at the Atlanta show on Saturday with the wife and The Kid, then about 6 hours on Sunday by myself!!! As well as a few hundred dollars! [:-^]

DON’T take anyone with you that’s not interested in trains. They’ll get bored and you’ll be mad about leaving after only 2 hours.[banghead]
